''Chapter 68: Shock and Negotiation''
The door slowly opened, and with the sound of neat and heavy footsteps, two teams of yellow-haired men with muscles on their toes walked out of the door, and behind them was a large group of heavily armed soldiers, walking out of the gate in a row. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ After the two forces formed two large groups, a heavily armed knight pressed the sword at his waist and pulled the reins, and walked out of the gate and walked through the queue. ''Hah! When the knight came to a halt at the front of the group, there was a loud shout from the whole group, accompanied by the sound of weapons striking their bodies.
''Oh my God. Looking at the uniform army not far away, Chris gasped, and Wren smacked his tongue. ''The strength of those warriors is above the intermediate level warriors, and the number is no less than fifty. After glancing at the regular army lined up, Wren looked at the strong level 2 barbarians and the several barbarian fighters who led the team, and frowned: "The strength is strong, five quasi-high-level warriors with twenty-five middle-level warriors, it seems that they are very likely to belong to the berserker category, and their strength is much stronger than the average middle-level warrior." When Wren set his eyes on Mei Long, he felt his heart tremble. ''Sir, he's strong, seems to be stronger than you. Chris leaned over and said in a trembling voice. ''You're wrong, Chris. Wren smiled bitterly: "We can't compare at all, and he wants to kill me as easily as a strong man pinching a baby to death." That breath... I felt it once in Babula just now, but this one is a little stronger than the one just now, and it seems that he is only one step away from the master of combat, and I can't fight him at all. ββ
''What! Hearing Wren's words, Chris was stunned, as the captain of the Mondona garrison brigade, his strength was very close to that of a high-level warrior, and he was an existence that ordinary people aspired to. But among the captains, he is only at the level of the middle and lower reaches, and the captains of the core guard team are all senior warriors and above, and the upper ones are the guard officers, which is the second highest rank after the city defense officer, and there are only three guard officers in the entire Mondona, but the Wren guard officer of this strength has no power to fight back in front of the heavily armed knight in front of him, even the city defense officer can't do it!
That's all there is to the presence of the Battle Master...... Thinking of this, Chris couldn't help but shudder. Battle Master, that is the strongest existence in the Free Cities Alliance, and there are only two people in total, one with more than a dozen high-level warriors guarding the border between the west and Subic, and the other is not concerned about the world, living outside the city of Mondona all year round, in case of sneak attacks by Subic's elite troops. But it was these two people, with the cooperation of the three-city magic array, who resisted the kingdom's sneak attacks and harassment again and again. The strength of a combat master is enough to easily crush a high-level warrior, and one person is enough to contend with the existence of an army of hundreds of people! If one of the people in front of you, or the one in Babra Town, breaks through and becomes a master of battle......
"If they are our enemies, the consequences will be unimaginable." Wren seemed to see what he was thinking, and said it directly.
"It seems that our task is heavier than we thought!" Wren said to Chris solemnly.
"Messenger of the city of Mondona." At this moment, the warrior spoke, and the thick voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"I am a follower of Master Li Xiaopan, a knight of the Tibetan Soldier City, Mei Long * Roman Carr, I don't know what you are doing here this time?"
"Your Excellency, Honorable Knight." Wren gave a military salute to his superiors. "We have been entrusted by the Carthusian administration to express our gratitude to Mr. Pan Lee Jr. for saving our people, and look forward to a friendly and cooperative dialogue with Mr. Lee." Wren stretched out his hand and motioned, and immediately a few soldiers removed several not-so-large boxes from the camel horses, which were heavy, and one of them was opened by a soldier, and it was full of gold coins.
"A generous gift." Mei Long glanced at the box and nodded. He said: "Since you have come for peace and friendship, and Taksadar Anlirus (the soldiers of the kingdom are accustomed to use this name) welcome you, please come with me, and I will take you to your lordship." Meron made a gesture of please, and the barbarian and regular army began to return. Wren and Chris glanced at each other and followed into the strange town.
Beyond the gate, there is the city, and as far as the eye can see, there are rows and rows of wooden houses and busy people, all dressed differently but in similar styles, all with a sense of boldness. In the newly built city, Wren saw peasants with hoes returning home for dinner, and saw the light of a fire in a blacksmith's shop. Although the buildings are simple and not very numerous, they were built in a matter of days! Wren described this as a surprise only. In the middle of the town, there is a large and spacious house, this building is no smaller than the city council in Mondona alone, and the decoration is also a notch higher than the surrounding buildings, Wren reckoned that it should be the core of the town, the government office or something, and Mr. Lee is likely to be there. He expressed this to Malone, who agreed, but told Wren that Master Lee was now in the barracks to inspect his troops, and that they could go with them. This is a great opportunity to test the military strength of this Oriental, and Wren will naturally not let it go, but he also knows that the other party will not be able to show them his hole cards without reservation. ''Show their strength. Wren guessed, "They're showing their power to us, but now they're showing more power than they are." ββ
Wren thought so, and walked to the west with the powerful knight, he guessed from the greeting troops just now, that after a few tough battles, the other party could still have at least five or six hundred people, among which there must be many low-level warriors and some middle-level warriors, and the level should be about the same as the core garrison of Mondona. Wren thinks his guess is high enough, but reality still gives him a slap in the face!
Large military tents with no edge in sight (because the view is blocked by tents). A barracks-like building filled with warriors waving weapons and shouting. Team after team of yellow-haired men full of muscles kept shuttling through the military tents, and their strength was above the intermediate soldiers. Warriors with simple equipment but high morale lined up in several phalanxes and practiced fighting with swords or spears. Countless goblins gathered in a hurry, clutching the copper plate and screaming loudly, and a goblin with an apparent head standing on the table, slowly shouting the number of bets. Madam, many beautiful young ladies gathered in pairs, whispering to their companions. They were powerful, Wren could confirm it, because he saw a group of female archers in blue cloaks shoot arrows collectively through a row of iron plates! It was only a little thicker than the armor they were wearing. The ground was vibrating, and the jaws of the people in Mondo were dropped, and a giant who was not much lower than the city walls walked slowly, and on the giant's shoulder, a purple-haired woman with an iron pipe sat leisurely on it, chatting with the female archers on the side.
"That's, muskets!" Wren, who had seen a lot of the world, immediately realized what this thing was, and although it was strange, it was similar to the musket he had seen in a team of the Dragon Empire, and of course, it was larger. "Well......" Wren remembered the thick iron pipes on the city wall and the iron balls in the hands of the dwarfs behind him, and he already knew what they were. It turned out to be artillery. Wren figured out what it was, and realized what it meant. He knew that the power of this Oriental man was far beyond his imagination.
"That's our lord." The knight in front raised his hand and pointed to a little fat black-haired man watching the troop drill on a simple high platform.
"So young?" Wren was very surprised by the youth of this "Master Li", but what surprised him even more was that beside that little fat man in the East, there was a warrior with the same strength as her! And he saw an orange-haired woman in leather armor standing silently behind them with a large axe, Wren couldn't see her strength, but he could see the murderous aura that made him shudder. Mei Long shouted at the stage, the three people turned their heads together, and Wren also led everyone off the horse with great interest.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the base camp, I sat in my exclusive seat, facing our "guests", with Meron and Varna sitting next to me.
"The Alliance is indeed generous, please thank Archon Malt for me." I looked at the gold coins in the boxes, not to mention but my heart has become a happy flower, of course, my expression is also with a happy smile, I really can't hide this, after all, there are at least 5,000 gold coins in it!
"You're so gracious, it's a small thank you for defending our people." Wren bowed, glad that he had asked for a lot of money from above, and it seemed that the young Mr. Li in front of him was very satisfied with the gift. "I am amazed by your youth, you have shown young people that you are truly successful in great things, and I believe that those who do not learn and do not know how to do it will be ashamed of themselves in front of you."
I'm still quite happy with his flattery, but I have nothing to be proud of coming over by the system, so I asked him straight to the point:
"Gossip and flattery, please, we Oriental people have long been accustomed to it. What I want to know is, what are you doing here? I don't believe you're here just to send me money, and the Mondona Council wouldn't be so brainless. β
"You're so direct, your people are sometimes surprisingly straightforward, and of course, that's just what I've heard from others." He smiled awkwardly, and then changed his expression to a serious but respectful expression: "In fact, the alliance is also very puzzled by the arrival of you and your companions, why have you come here thousands of miles away?" Our alliance is small, why are you here? β
"All I can say is that we come from the East, and we want to accomplish our cause, and we don't belong here to any country, and we have nothing to do with our empire. We're here to help. I said so much in a row, and I myself felt that what I said was the same as what I didn't say, but with the strength of our presence and my "sincere eyes," the guard officer fell silent.
"Also," I glanced at Merlon, who nodded, and I solemnly told the guard officer named Wren, "We want to join the Free Cities Alliance!" β
"What!" Wren was directly awakened from his thoughts, and his words were a little wrong: "Youβcan you say it again?" β
"We want to join the Free Cities Alliance, in the name of an independent city."
"Sir, I'm afraid I can't be the master." Wren looked at me and seemed embarrassed.
"I know, but you can imagine how much we're helping you. I hope to have a negotiation with the Alliance, and I also want you to go back with our conditions, and these things. β
With that, I handed him a crystal vial with holy water in it (a store-bought bottle, Mane of the Pit Man asked for 10 gold coins!). οΌ
Wren was still very embarrassed, and he couldn't even say that he could be the master after hearing the conditions, but when I opened the bottle and the life-filled potion shook in front of his eyes, his expression immediately changed.
